Visit www.wetfeet.com/cb/schools/toc.asp?dpid=170 and enter ndcareers as the username and notredame as the password.
Focus is a web-based career exploration and self-assessment system that helps the user explore interests, values, skills and personality, and then research occupations that match the self-assessment. Personalized feedback is provided while researching more than 1,200 careers at www.focuscareer.com/register/univofnotredame.cfm. (Keycode: ndfocus)
Other Career Center services through http://careercenter.nd.edu/ include an employer page to assist in seeking interns, entry-level employees or senior-level executives among current students and alumni; a program that allows alumni to perform searches of companies by industry, location, keywords or all three; and a career networking volunteer site where alumni who have professional success stories can answer current ND students’ career-related questions.
